Bowman

Bowman Baseball’s history dates back to 1948 when the first Bowman Baseball set was released following the end of World War II. It’s become a favorite among contemporary collectors who focus on top prospects, offering the chance to have the first card of the next superstar. Bowman’s portfolio has expanded to include Bowman’s Best, Draft, Chrome, and more. Bowman Baseball remains the first release of each new season and the first opportunity to collect a player’s 1st Bowman.

The Bowman brand was moribund until Topps revived the Bowman name in 1989, releasing a new line of Bowman baseball cards featuring full-color photographs of players and rookie cards, which quickly became popular among collectors. Since 1989, Bowman has continued to innovate, introducing chrome cards, autos, and, most importantly, prospects.
